Edelgard held on to Corrin, not letting go for an instant, intent on steadying her Bondmate once everything was said and done. She appreciated the willingness to go along with this, and she'd certainly make it up to her partner, now that she was fairly full of real nourishment. There was something about the witchblood that was different from monster blood, some quality she knew was better, and it was even more intense coming from Corrin than the few sips of it she'd had before tonight.
Looking into her friend's eyes, still holding her up, she grinned and asked what was probably an obvious question
"Good? Bad?"
She doesn't want to put words into Corrin's mouth or anything, but she's curious, mostly because that reaction was far stronger than she had expected.
Corrin tried to answer, failed, swallowed, and then sucked in a breath to try again. "I don't...know how to describe it," she finally managed, words mingled with a slightly embarrassed giggle. "It was very...ah...intense."
That was certainly the word her brain kept coming back to, at least. As the moments passed she managed to collect herself enough that she leaned up so she was eye-to-eye with Edelgard, hands still hooked around her waist.
"I could see wanting to do it again," she admitted, a little flush appearing on her cheeks.
Edelgard's smile widened and she leaned in closer, kissing Corrin full on the lips. She was pleased, of course, that it wasn't bad. But she also knew she had to be careful, given the nature of witchblood.
"Well. Another time...? I do want that to be special. And...I don't...you know..."
Awkwardness returned, and she looked away, lowering her voice a touch.
As the quick kiss broke again, Corrin giggled softly, resisting the urge to chase it with another...at least for a moment.
"Addicted, hm?" She knew that witch blood was apparently addicting for vampires, she didn't really understand it, but it certainly wasn't the strangest thing she'd learned in this odd world.
But there was something about the way Edelgard looked away, the hesitance in her voice, that egged Corrin on, and she brought one hand up to catch Edelgard's chin and turn it towards her, leaning in to place a long, lingering kiss on the other woman's lips.
She pulled back after even she wasn't sure how long, with a last little nip to Edelgard's lips, and a smirk settled on her own.
"Biting me isn't the only way to get addicted to me," she said, her voice husky, expressing a self-assuredness that wasn't always there but lurked below the surface half the time.
Edelgard tensed a little bit, for just a half second, wondering if Corrin was going to question it. She didn't want to continue thinking about the blood, not just now. It would make it much harder to resist in future.
Thankfully, she doesn't, and the conflict resolved itself immediately as Corrin kissed her again.
"Is...is that so?" she asked, unable to keep a tremor from her voice. Not that she was frightened or anything, but that was such a bold statement...
That tremor earned Edelgard a genuine laugh from Corrin, because apparently about eight seconds was how long she could keep up that intense front before it faded. "Look at your face! You'd almost think I was going to bite you this time." She teased, leaning in to kiss her again...and then shifting her weight forward to push Edelgard down onto her back again.
Before Edelgard could react, Corrin was ontop of her like earlier, straddling her with her knees sinking into the mattress and her hands resting on her bondmates pale stomach.
"Although," she continued her thought as her fingers tapped gently against Edelgard's ribs. "I mean, I can't promise I won't either." She finished her previous thought with a sly little smirk.
It was Corrin's turn to flush, letting out a huff of a breath. "I mean, it's not like I've done this a lot." She said in a half-whisper. Just with one person, really. "And I think everyone is probably...different?"
She honestly wasn't sure.
Still, Edelgard almost looked...vulnerable? As she lay there beneath her, and Corrin was torn between wanting to tease her and comfort her. Or both. Instead she leaned down, half-lying on top of her, chest to chest, as she pressed a little kiss to the corner of edelgard's lips.
"I promise to take care of you." It came out fast and a bit breathlessly, not sweet but almost like a vow, as if it extended beyond what was going on.
That was something, coming from Edelgard. It was perhaps the deepest commitment she could offer short of a marriage proposal, as far as she was concerned. The bond pulsed, steady, unbending, but appreciative.
"I just...I am going to be relying on your guidance."
Corrin felt a twinge of uncertainty and nervousness at that, and her red eyes closed as she drew in a steadying breath. Finally she smiled as they reopened to peer into Edelgard's once more.
"I'll do my best." She said, barely a whisper. "But I think you'll pick it up fast enough."
Corrin had, at least. It had mostly been instinct and figuring out what felt good, not really doing it 'right.' Was there a right way to do this? Was she doing it wrong?
Eh, she'd worry about that later.
Instead she kissed Edelgard again, a quick kiss that tugged on the emperor's bottom lip, before moving to kiss her chin, then down to her collarbone, sucking at the skin there as her whole body began shifting downward.
To say that Edelgard liked that was something of an understatement. That being the kisses, but also the words, the phrasing, and the blast of affection still rolling through the bond.
She didn't know what she'd expected from her first brush with intimacy, but this roller coaster of emotions was not it. This was actually pleasant.
"Your lips...they're very warm."
Particularly against some of the scars, just little places where the extra touch, the soft reinforcement that she was appreciated...all of that was excellent.
Corrin smiled against Edelgard's skin, almost a laugh but not quite. "I've always been a bit hot to the touch," she said with a smirk, even as she continued each kiss.
She was almost meticulous moving along Edelgard's skin, kissing each bare section, then each scar she passed as she moved downward, pausing only when she earned that groan for her work. That was what she was aiming for. That sensation of pleasure and relief in the bond, that audible reinforcement that she was doing the right thing.
Eventually her lips arrived at their first real destination, kissing the soft flesh of her left breast just above her nipple, then sucking at the skin again for a few seconds, just long enough that she probably left a little mark before tugging away.
Her eyes turned upwards, meeting Edelgard's gaze, the corner of her lip turned up in that familiar grin of hers...and then dropped back down and away, so her tongue could flick out and trace over the tip of Edelgard's nipple, then around it. A slow motion, mostly just listening and feeling for her reaction.
The raw intimacy of the moment shattered something in Edelgard's tightly controlled persona. The moment she felt Corrin's lips brush against her breast, she tensed, eyes wide. Everything about this was new, welcome, and thrilling in ways the Emperor never had considered before.
Who thought that they were going to end up in a situation like this at any point in their life?
Most people, probably, but not her, unfortunately. It was strange, but her boded responded, a hand reaching down to card through Corrin's hair, lips parted in a soft gasp for breath.
Corrin would have grinned again if her mouth wasn't quite occupied then, but there was a deep sense of satisfaction as she felt Edelgard finally start to really relax into what was happening. She could understand that confusion and worry, really, she'd felt it herself the first time. Sex had just...never been something she'd given much thought to, until suddenly it happened and, well...wow.
But this wasn't about her right then, it was all about Edelgard, at least for Corrin. The woman deserved this kind of attention, in her opinion, and she was more than willing to give it. Her tongue continued teasing at El's nipple, as she shifted her weight all onto one arm and brought her other hand up to trace her fingers over Edelgard's other breast, light, gentle touches in a slow circle, pausing occasionally to drift along one of her scars.
The hand in her hair pushed her head down a tad, and she took that moment to break a half-promise from minutes earlier...as she nipped gently at Edelgard's breast with her teeth.
Edelgard's eyes began to close, drifting slowly into a relaxed state. This was better than expected. It certainly felt amazing, and she appreciated just how dedicated Corrin seemed to giving her a good experience. It was beginning to become even predictable, the patterns of tongue and fingers against her bare skin lulling her thoughts with dull pleasant sensations.
The teeth, though, that earns a yelp from Edelgard. Not loud, just surprised, her mouth hanging open slightly.
"Oh! That...is..." she breaks off, sounding a little puzzled. Pleased, but puzzled. "...Nice. Different, but nice."
The yelp had Corrin immediately pulling back to look up at Edelgard again with faint worry, until she saw her face and relaxed. "Tell me if you don't like something." She said, even as her hand continued with it's work on her chest, fingers curling in to squeeze.
"I'm still figuring all this out too so I don't really know what...well." She shrugged her bare shoulders and laughed. "I don't really know most of what I'm doing, honestly."
She knew more than El, but that wasn't the same as knowing a lot.
Corrin giggled at that half-request, half-demand. "As you wish," she answered, her tone joking, just before her mouth returned to Edelgard's breast, catching up her nipple between her lips and suckling on it softly, then another little nip.
Her hand slipped away though, moving from El's torso, tracing slow lines across her skin, stopping whenever she hit a scar, and then letting her finger moving slowly along it from one end to the other before it slipped off and across her skin again until it found the next scar and repeated. Partially she was just learning about Edelgard's body, but also she wanted to see how that felt to the older woman. Maybe she could find some way to at least make her scars seem less of a burden.
Edelgard responded to the touch against her scar the same way she did to the feeling of fingers against her breast. There was no real sensation in the touch, but there was the feeling that was more emotional than physical. Nobody did these kinds of things to her, normally. It...meant something...to be touched this way.
Her fingers flexed, gripping at the sheets tighter, her mouth hanging open in a long, low moan.
That moan urged Corrin on for a while, but eventually her hand came to a stop, resting flush against Edelgard's stomach over her belly button, fingers shifting back and forth. With one last nip, she tugged away from her chest, rising back up so she could look down at Edelgard's face.
She felt like she should say something, but didn't really know what, and honestly didn't really want to, so after a few uncertain seconds, she dropped her head down to kiss her again, eagerly, hungrily. The arousal in her bondmate was building her own, and the reaction she was getting out of her was more than enough to egg her on.
Once she'd pressed deeply into the kiss, the hand on Edelgard's stomach started to slide lower, until her fingers were tracing a slow line just above the top of her underwear.
The kiss was returned with passion and fervor. Edelgard was not going to let up in the slightest, not in a moment like this. She opened her mouth, pressed in close and hard, needy and giving at the same time. She could tell what sort of effect this was having on Corrin, and that only made her want to go harder.
She nipped at her Bonded's lower lip, and reflexively lifted her own hips to make it easier to pull of the underwear.
Even if they weren't bonded, Corrin would've had an awful time hiding how excited she was right then. She would've been embarrassed if she knew how much of it she was radiating, but right then there were such better things to focus on.
"Mm..." She made a soft, eager noise against Edelgard's lips as the other spoke, nodding faintly. She hadn't exactly been waiting, but hearing that whisper of permission just urged her own more.
So she pressed back into the kiss, closing her eyes, even as her hand, flush against Edelgard's stomach, shifted down again. But rather than push her underwear down, her fingers slid over it, slipping down between her legs, pressing in against the fabric, teasing at her through it.
The teasing fingers made Edelgard shiver in ways she hadn't known were possible. She had touched herself every so often, of course. That was just normal behavior, but this was different still. Something...sweet. Tantalizing. A fruit she's never tried before.
"...Hell..." she gasped, head jerking up to stare down at Corrin.
[Corrin tugged her head back as Edelgard's shot up, and she couldn't help but giggle softly at the look on her bondmates face.]
I mean...maybe a little.
[She leaned forward to nip at her lip lightly before pressing in another kiss, urging Edelgard back down onto the pillow with her weight. Her fingers gave another rub between El's legs before slipping up to the top of her underwear and sliding beneath it. Rather than pushing it down, for now, she just let her hand stretch the fabric until her fingers found the woman's slit, and after a brief moment's hesitation, slid lightly down along it, one finger in the middle, another on the sensitive skin on either side.]
That. That is good stuff. Edelgard groaned again, the teasing fingers playing against her most intimate place stealing the breath from her once more. Her head swam, not just from desire, but also curiosity. Everything here was a new experience, and those were things that she treasured.
"...that's the most amazing feeling I've ever felt..." she said, truthfully.
